Consultation on how to measure the inclusion of migrants in Wales
Q1. We intend to develop a method of measuring migrant inclusion by using the best parts of the Home Office Indicators of Integration (2019) and the Welsh Governments Well-being National Indicators (2016). Do you agree with this general approach?
Q2. Which of the measurements from the Well-being National Indicators within Annex 1 are the most essential indicators to include in the framework to monitor migrant inclusion?
Q3. Which of the measurements from the Indicators of Integration within Annex 2 are the most appropriate indicators to include in the framework to monitor inclusion?
Q4. Have you identified any barriers to the measurement of migrant inclusion in your work?
Q5. Have you identified any examples of good practice in your (or others’) work which use the concepts of measuring the inclusion of migrants in communities?
Q6. How would you like to see the tool setting out a method of measuring inclusion presented to ensure it is user-friendly?
(Please provide as much detail as possible about required languages, formats or structures for the final tool which will support your work. Although we would normal produce a written document we are keen to hear suggestions of the most effective tool, including examples of similar tools used elsewhere.)
Q7. What additional support would your organisation be likely to need to measure the inclusion of migrants in your day-to-day work?
(Please consider whether liaison with Welsh Government, resources, publication of specific datasets, collaborative structures or other support needs can be identified. Please explain your reasons for the anticipated needs identified.)
Q8. How can we, as a government, improve the availability, consistency, completeness and usability of migrant data that is collected and reported?
Q9. How can we improve the willingness of migrants to provide us with their information?
Q10. Are there any innovative data/evidence options we need to explore further, such as new data linkage opportunities?
Q11. Should the experiences of the children of migrants to Wales form part of our final tool?
Q12: We would like to know your views on the effects that these proposals would have on the Welsh language, specifically on opportunities for people to use Welsh and on treating the Welsh language no less favourably than English.
What effects do you think there would be? How positive effects could be increased or negative effected be mitigated?
